“Hero” – performed by Mariah Carey

There’s a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid
Of what you are
There’s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

[Chorus]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It’s a long, road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

[Chorus]

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you’ll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you

 “Hero” is one of the most popular hits by Mariah Carey. If you listen to the song, you may immediately think that its theme is about being courageous and believing in your own strength to overcome the challenges in life. But this piece is also relatable to people who have lost a father, a mother, a sibling, or a person who is considered as a hero their lives.

You can draw inspiration from the song to create your own funeral quotes and use it in your eulogy. The music piece talks about life being a very dangerous world and finding strength to overcome any challenges. This strength can be in the form of your departed family members who are already angels watching over you as you continue your journey through life.

A line in the song says, “When you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong”, which means that you simply need to look into your heart and find the memories that you have with your deceased loved ones to gain the strength and determination. They may not be present to physically support you, but you know that they are rooting for you to become a successful individual.
